Advanced Hydrofoils in the Boating Market

Hydrofoils, in the most basic sense, are to boats what wings are to planes. By acting as ‘wings’ for a boat, hydrofoils create lift, raising the boat above the surface of the water, thus minimizing drag. This in turn can help the boat travel faster and more efficiently. Our main goal is to aid in the design and eventual manufacture of hydrofoils and to research their viability in the boating market.
